Default RE: Help with my form.

I would suggest you seek 'good' PROfessional help from a hunter - if that's your gig. I teach form that is somewhat different and geared towards hunting.

When I first looked at the picture of MB, I questioned why his face was not touching the string. This is a high speed picture showing the shot a split second after the release. Many might quickly think that this is good form - not having the string to your face; therefore, this picture could be misleading. By not having facial anchor points, lefts and rights can be hard to control for the 'average' shooter, and getting into a peep in very low-light conditions would be troublesome. Also, improper foot/body position may be well for tournament, but can hurt your chances on a target that moves.

Seeing this thread and also a recent 'instructor' give form lessons on OLN/OEI has prompted me to offer a new seminar next year at the ATA Show entitled - Shooting form and set-up for HUNTERS.

There are SO many things that must be considered to make an archer more prepared for quick reaction hunting situations.
